I made beet jam years ago and it was very good. Kinda tasted like raspberry jam if I remember correctly.
26316Never had beet jam. That sounds interesting. Strawberries and beets does sound like a strange combination. You have been so busy with canning.
62459I didn't say EW!! Yum! Looks like you need some biscuits!

Yes I have been trying to think what a nice cracker might enhance the flavours of the jams to put in the baskets too
29237Nice work again! Beet jam sounds interesting, never tried that, but I did carrot jam and that tasted nice and sweet. Tomorrow I'll have a go at marrow jam ( or rather oversized courgette - got one from a friend that weighs almost 4 lbs, the courgette that is, not the friend). And I'll have to search for jamjars.

145190Yummy. I wish I lived near you so we could work together.
168887You make me realize how much I miss doing all I use to do, although I have never made or eaten any beet jam it does sound good because I'm a beet lover. You are so industrious. Lillian

yup I was thinking that too except that it has certo in it. I was sure that I added it but then it was thin so I added another box & it is still thin, which is why maybe I forgot to add the sugar?
313716Beet jam is a new one for me. In fact we never even canned the beets. Pickled a few jars but that was it. Thanks for the info.
19439Before you throw out the batch in the middle, taste it first. If it taste ok, eat it now or put in freezing containers & freeze it or reprocess it with maybe more sugar. It seems such a shame to throw out your hard work.
16706the batch in the middle the darker one has not set So I will have to throw it out? I don't know what else to do with it? Maybe I forgot to add the sugar it is so much darker then the rest?

hi , maybe you did not put in enough certo (pectin), or sugar , or you did not cook it down longer.with mine when that happens i put it in the fridge and use it on pancakes, bake a cake and use it. on french toast. today i made the pineapple and peach jam.boy those ontario peaches are so oo good and the jam is just supper.

sounds like a yummy batch for you too & yes the Ontario peaches are terrific! I have to wonder if I forgot the sugar? I like your ideas they sound pretty good too.
299557I love pickled beets, and love the color!!! Not tried jam, sounds interesting.
